Intellect-01 USSR (1987) X-RARE

The Intellect computers are anterior to the creation of the Electronika brand name.
It seems that Intellect did only 2 models:
- the Intellect-01 had an original Russian program;
- the Intellect-02 is a clone of the Fidelity Chess Challenger 3.

It was thought that the Intellect-01 was only a prototype.
The interesting point is that the Intellect-01 is running an original Russian program by Y. Kubinov.
This computer was participating to the First Soviet Computer Championship in 1988. After the tournament, the Soviet Computer-Chess Federation, was founded.
